Raven (Laguz)

Ravens are of the Bird Tribe, and are known for their ridiculous amounts of speed. The Ravens are notorious for the fleeing skills because of their speed but lack brute strength, making them useful primarily in terms of speed (though exceptions are seen). Led by Naesala, these birds tend to be theifs at heart, and scavenge for items within vessels of ships near the ocean. The Raven Tribe has been known to stir up incredible chaos between the Laguz nations, particularly Tibarn and the Hawk Tribe, who once shared a home with the Ravens in Kilvas. The Raven's cunning and deceitful tendencies are often targeted by Beorc and Laguz alike, making them outcasts in parts of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. The Raven Tribe only truly trusts Princess Leanne, their king, Naesala, and themselves, making them difficult people to work with.

The King prior to Naesala made a Blood Contract with Begnion's senator, Lekain. The pact slowly dwindled Kilvas' numbers and is the reason behind the hasty coronation of Naesala, who originally was not in line to succeed the throne. This blood pact is Naesala's burden as of his coronation as King, and later forces him to abandon the Laguz Alliance in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, which ultimately creates a mass murder in Phoenicis, angering Tibarn and the other Laguz nobility beyond words. When Naesala reveals his intentions and the Blood Pact, he fights alongside those heading towards the Tower of Guidance and eventually destroys the Blood Pact after killing Lekain (or, alternatively, Sanaki will take the Blood Pact and give it to Naesala later if he is not brought).

Naesala is eventually forgiven given the difficult situation he was placed in, and the Bird Tribes live in harmony in Serenes Forest despite past conflicts.
